Chapter 81: People
The interview will be conducted in Chen Yongren's office, at this time the program team has arrived at Chen Yongren's office, the equipment has been debugged, and the main owner is waiting for the arrival.
It didn't take long for Chen Yongren to arrive.
"I've kept you waiting. Chen Yongren walked into the office and apologized to the program staff inside.
Yuan Li also got up from the sofa and said, "Director Chen, hello." I am the program director and the reporter Yuan Li for this interview. ”
"Hello, hello, let's start recording when the equipment is ready," Chen Yongren said with a smile.
"Okay, if you have those questions that you don't want to answer, Director Chen can tell me first. Yuan Li said.
"It's okay, you can ask casually, and if you can't answer, I have the answer. Chen Yongren said indifferently.
"Okay, then we're officially getting started. Yuan Li said to Chen Yongren.
The camera's indicator light is on, marking the official start of the interview.
The broadcast time of "People" is every Saturday at 8 p.m., and one episode lasts about an hour and a half.
This kind of serious program style and biographical program is naturally not so pleasing to the public, and it has a lot of influence in the industry, but it is not so well-known.
However, today, this relatively niche program is on the hot search list on Weibo. As for the reason, it is naturally because Chen Yongren reposted the news of this interview on his Weibo on the way to come.
Chen Yongren's Weibo fans are the first on Weibo, and Chen Yongren has a rare last show, even if it is an interview, it has aroused the expectations of countless fans.
"A genius in the art of cinema who has created remarkable achievements. A business tycoon, the youngest billionaire. As a director, he opened a new era of Chinese films. As a businessman, he has also made outstanding contributions to the development of the Chinese film industry. ”
"The character of this issue, Oscar director, Chen Yongren!"
With the camera indicator light on, this interview has officially begun.
Yuan Li said: "Let's start talking about the first movie, we all know that your first work is "Infernal Affairs". How did you come up with the idea of making such a theme at that time? Did you ever think that "Infernal Affairs" would open a new era of Chinese films?"
"In fact, the original filming of "Infernal Affairs" was also due to some inspiration from some old Xiangjiang movies, and I didn't expect it to cause such a big response after it was filmed, so it made me more determined to explore commercial films.
As for saying that this movie has opened a new era of Chinese films, I don't think I dare to take it. It should be said that "Infernal Affairs" has made everyone see a new direction, and I think that ouch movies can still be made like this. Therefore, I think that as a filmmaker, it is still necessary to be bold and innovative, and it is not okay to rest on our laurels.
The main thing is that I don't want to be abandoned by the times......" Chen Yongren said.
"Oh, why do you say that?" asked Yuan Li.
"Today's world film market is constantly expanding, and the Hollywood film industry has been ahead of us for decades, and Hollywood films represent the highest level of cinema on the planet. So for me, it's always been my goal to catch up with Hollywood until I surpass it. And I don't want Huaxia Films to be complacent all the time, so I'm willing to be the first to challenge, even if I fail, I don't regret it, because you have worked hard.
So I also hope that many young directors today will learn more about the advanced film industry, and then base themselves on the local area and look at the world, so that the world knows that in addition to Hollywood movies, there are also Chinese films. Chen Yongren said.
Yuan Li, who was behind the camera, continued to ask: "Many directors have their own creative style, but the movies you have made since your debut are different in terms of subject matter and style, so what do you think of your creative style?"
Creative style?How awesome is how to come, who called me a reborn person, I can really look to the future?
Well, this is just Chen Yongren's complaint, but then again, Chen Yongren really didn't do that. After all, there are many good movies in China, so why should he work hard to make foreign movies.
To sinicize, even to rewrite the script, to choose the right actors, but also to consider issues such as review. Why are you so tired?
"My style is really no style, and I don't want to be tied down by a certain style.
For me, it's a lot of fun to shoot different styles of stories, and it also keeps my work fresh and brings something new and interesting to the audience.
So, if I had to say any style, diversity would be my style. I want to try different themes, and I can also do some exploration and experimentation for more genres of domestic films. Chen Yongren said.
Yuan Li then asked: "A while ago, your latest work "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" was completed. Here's also wishing this movie a box office hit. Where did the original inspiration for the movie "33 Days of Broken Love" come from?"
"Inspiration comes mainly from what you have seen and heard in life. I also saw some stories about broken love on Weibo, and then I checked the information and did some homework, so I thought about making a movie about broken love, and also conveyed some of my love views to everyone. Chen Yongren replied.
The episode of "People" is an hour and a half, and because there are a lot of movie clips and narration in between, the show will soon come to an end.
Although the "People" program is only one and a half hours, the content of the interview is more than an hour and a half. The two chatted for nearly three hours before ending the interview.
"Finally, Director Chen, if it's convenient, can you reveal your next plan? And then what do you think of the news about your wife Gao Yuanyuan's pregnancy?" Yuan Li still had a lot of questions to ask in her heart, but the interview time was almost up, after all, Chen Yongren didn't have so much spare time to chat with her for three days and three nights, so when he was about to end, he asked these two questions about everyone.
"There's nothing inconvenient, there may be a break next, and then there may be a variety show next.
Then it's time to continue making movies, the script of the movie has already been written, and it's a sci-fi disaster movie genre.
As for the news of Yuanyuan's pregnancy, in fact, there are daily reports from time to time during this time, but in order to protect the privacy of people, I haven't said it, and I also hope to leave some private space for my family, and I don't want her to be disturbed, so I still hope that everyone will pay attention to the movie, if there is good news, I will share it with you. Chen Yongren returned ambiguously.
Subsequently, the recording of this program also officially ended, and some interview clips were put on the Internet that night.
It instantly aroused the curiosity of the audience.
"It's good not to make movies, but to run to variety shows?"
"The script for the next movie has already been written? Who else is there for this film? Or who!"
"Looking forward to it, I just don't know that I won't be able to see this sci-fi blockbuster until the Year of the Monkey. ”
The relevant content of the show also quickly appeared on the hot search.
For the show to be broadcast next Saturday, many fans are very disappointed, they can't wait to watch this episode, for the program team is very happy, the audience's appetite has been satisfied, the ratings of the next issue are stable, and at the same time, it has also strengthened their direction of interviewing people in the film and television industry, after all, the program also needs to be constantly innovated, there are always some old styles, and the audience is easy to get tired of watching.
After the recording of the show, Chen Yongren returned home and continued to live the life of a family cook......
